Actually I'm the same way. I totally suck at all stick and ball sports. How did you lose your vision? Running with a pointed stick?J/K My vision in my right eye is fine, it's just that I have always seen double (or quadruple when drunk!), and my mind just disregards the right eye's input. Now that I have medical ins., I might finally get that fixed.

Say what?

I hit 150 easily on Hwy 285 or C-470 with visibility and no traffic.
Age only allowed me to get more expensive bikes...

p.s. what does your STOCK bike do?

I have a friend that just bought the K 1200 R. He got rid of the damn thing in less than 1200 miles. The thing would stall out and leave no computer code. BMW dealership and factory couldn't trace it or fix it --- or make it reoccur for that matter. We all witnessed the issue unfold and could attest that the problem was real and not preconceived. BMW wouldn't back up the issue until it left a computer error code or crapped out all together. POS if you ask me and really S_H_I_T_T_Y customer service.
Soooooooo my buddy turned it over and bought a Kawasaki ZX1400. I don't care what you ride I'll put $$ on the line that it will spank what ever's between your legs --- STOCK
Oh --- and he's 56 years young.

150 INDICATED. I've seen an indicated 172 on my '01 1K on the way to work on the I-25 frontage road one morning and it was still pulling hard. And I've seen the Euro-mags run one to a verified 186. Game, set, match. Although, that's a much faster Beemah than Jeff's (who's one-eyed-ballz I was bustin').

Fair enough.
o BMW doesn't officially make a 'sport' bike.
o You'll never know your speed unless you use a GPS.
o I'm a noob on this bike.
o I don't race on the street. Too dangerous.
o Jap bikes rock. Had 'em before.
Now let's go riding and enjoy the summer!
And anyone really interested in going up in an L39 for jet aerobatics let me know. It will only cost you (discounted) fuel. And they take credit cards @ the FBO. The 3 ships are located at Lancaster Field just south of Dallas. Be prepared to pull 5.5G's sustained.

About how much? I'd LOVE to. I used to work on F-4's out at China Lake, and spent about 14+ years doing defense work, and a few short stints at NASA too. Planes ROCK!

The older I seem to get the less time I seem to have to do the stupid shit anymore.
Given that I have ridden liter bikes for most of the street career, I consider myself lucky to have survived my 20’s.
I used to ride with a bunch of guys in Oklahoma whose main form of entertainment was to race from OKC to Dallas on Friday nights, hit the bars then wake up the next morning and race back. Unless of course you hooked up with someone then you got a reprieve until the next weekend. After about two summers of this, it became common for the OHP to fly their planes up and down I-35 looking for our guys basically shutting the stunt down.
Next I got evolved with the 17 year old daughter of a convicted drug smuggler who didn’t like the idea of a scum rocket rider dating his daughter. (buts that’s another story.)

You could have probably had the girl and made daddy happy if you showed up on a Harley. Or bribed him with an eight-ball and a bag of killer bud
